Cats, Dogs, Spiders and ? every Friday.
I’ll post links to sites that have Friday (or shortly thereafter) photos of their chosen animals as I see them (no photoshops and no humans).
Leave a comment or trackback to this post or email me and I’ll add yours to the list.
Do remember The Carnival of the Cats every Sunday and hosted this week at Music and Cats.Archive editions of the Friday Ark.Cats

Here are the pictures of the few people who made it through the first step. Four dogs and their owners left the ring that Sunday proud of their progress so far. So with out further ado… Marvin’s Class Photos! from right to left we have Daisy, Die…

I like sitting inside the scratching post tower because the elevated position gives me a view of most of the ground-level rooms in the house. It has nothing to do with the fact that the Other Cat and the Interloper…
